Microsoft Copilot can create your PowerPoint for free.

You can even design your slides with a single click.

I'll show you how with just one prompt: Image
1. Generate content with Copilot

Using the prompt below, Copilot will :

- Search for information on your topic
- Write the content of your slides
- Generate a ready-to-use PowerPoint macro

Get free access to Copilot here:
copilot .microsoft .com

Here's the prompt template to use:

"Act as an expert in VBA macro creation for PowerPoint. Think step by step. Research information about [TOPIC]. Then create a PowerPoint macro that creates [XX] slides with a title and short text for each. Your answer need only be the macro's VBA code with ALL the information inside."

In the video example:

- [TOPIC] = "the history of Silicon Valley"
- [XX] = "10" (for 10 slides)
2. Create the slideshow using the macro

Access PowerPoint's Developer tab.

If you don't have it, right-click on the ribbon → Customize the Ribbon → Check Developer.

Click on Macros, enter a name and click on Create.

In the window, copy and paste the VBA code given by Copilot.

Note:

Check that the macro does not contain pptApp.Quit or pptPres.Close.

If it does, delete these to avoid any problems.
3. Run the macro

Run it using the play button at the top.

All content is automatically inserted into a new presentation.

You can easily modify the content of the slides before moving on to the design.

Note:

You can check the sources used by clicking on the links provided by Copilot.

All that's left is to design the slides.
4. Use Designer

Click in the top right-hand corner to access Designer.

Select a style you like to apply it automatically to the active slide.

You can do the same for subsequent slides to easily adapt the design to the content.

Designer also adds animations if you select certain styles.

And you're already done!
Now you know how to automatically generate a PowerPoint with Copilot!

Don't hesitate to generate the macro again if it doesn't work the first time.

If this was useful to you, don't hesitate to follow me and share the first post:

You can combine Nano Banana with a video model to generate impressive results!

It literally takes just a few minutes.

Steps of the workflow below
1. Nano Banana

Import your original image into Gemini App or AI Studio.

Then simply ask it to transform the room (or other object) into an isometric view.

Repeat the process for your second image. Image

2. Video

You're almost done:

- Import your images into an image-to-video template.

Ok AI video gen is evolving really fast

You can now set the EXACT start and end frames before generating.

This means you can literally control your entire video with just 2 images and let AI fill the video in between.

Steps to do it using Kling 2.1
You just need 2 images:

- First frame of your scene (where the video begins)
- Last frame (where it ends)

In Kling 2.1, select "AI Video Generator" then "Image to video."

1. Upload your start image then your end image
2. Type a prompt if you wish
3. Click "Generate" and voilà!
Here’s another quick example:

You can easily control the whole scene and the transition by choosing the right start and end frames.
